This is done on purpose.  oFono & ConnMan are designed with the 
assumption that the user will see what is being exposed by the D-Bus 
API.  The UI is just a thin client which simply renders the state of 
ConnMan / oFono.  Think of the D-Bus API as being user-visible.  Thus it 
makes no sense for us to expose services that the user cannot use.

There are a couple of ways to get around this:

- Use a more up-to-date database
- Have a provisioning UI that detects that provisioning has failed, and 
guides the user through picking the right combination of operator / plan 
/ etc and configures the context settings accordingly

There really should only be a single internet context configured for a 
given SIM for the vast majority of users in the world.
